HUGE HUGE HUGE Mistake!

[Alvysyngr]

OK - Today was day 7 for me on induction and it has been going pretty ok - dropped probably 10-15LBS (I judge by my clothes more than my weight, something I regret now)

Tonight after dinner I treated myself to 2 10oz+/- glasses of Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi. I like soda - I m an addict and am trying not to include it. My wife looked at the bottle after I gulped down the 20oz's of coldness and mentioned that I bought the wrong soda, It was Caffeine Free Reg Pepsi! I must have overlooked it and made the mistake in the market....now I physically feel terrible, have a bit of a bathroom "running" problem and am sure I reversed things. Tomorrow I will just pick up as though nothing happened but I am so angry at myself. The labelling on the bottle is almost identical to the diet....sorry for the long rant - just annoyed at myself

Read the label!

Hey there.. I feel your pain! I've done that before with other things. Don't worry.. tomorrow you will go right back to induction, drink lots of water.. and remember forget past mitakes, forget failures, forget about everything except what you are going to do and DO IT! We rock, keep up the hard work!

Don't stress too much about it. Mistakes happen, and I bet that's one mistake you won't make again! Pick up and move right on. Hope you feel better physically soon. At least you now know how rapid reintroduction of sugar affects you, and that might be quite an incentive to avoid sugars.

Congrats on your success so far and happy further losing!

thanks - wow this place calms me down - It is 2:11am - time for bed - nite all and thanks for the words of encouragement

We all learn from our mistakes. Move on and don't look back.

yes, don't worry about it! It won't mean anything in the big picture of things.

Things seem to be ok - I went right on and I can feel I am in Ketosis again! My wife is starting Atkins tomorrow - I will probably post a few questions seperately about that

I get ticked off too when I buy the wrong something at the store because they don't make enough of a change to the labels to make it clear. Also.. I hate it when they move things. Sometimes I'm going through the store grabbing things cause I'm so used to where they were! LOL Now THAT is a silly mistake to make. Just move along, nothing to see here, one mistake is no cause for beating oneself up for longer than say... the time it takes you to realize your mistake and promise yourself to never do it again!

Just make sure you drink enough water to remain hydrated after the bathroom event! And re-entering the soda world after kicking the habit isn't a great idea. I kicked it and an took me about five minutes after a swig to know I was hooked again after nearly a year without any Diet coke or carbonated beverage at all. It took another six months to get that out of my system. Now I'm carbonated beverage free once again!

I keep sugar free pudding at my friends house for when I get a craving (since I'm usually there after work) and she stocks fat free (because she is brainwashed by her nutritionists that 'Fat is Bad'.. One day I was chowing down on a cup and realized it was really sweet.. Sure enough, I grabbed on of the Fat Free, full of sugar cups.. I got over it, enjoyed my cheat and moved on next meal
